I was just coming in to say, pokeberry makes a lovely magenta ink. You can eat poke greens in the spring when they're very young and tender, but in all honesty, they don't taste good enough to be worth the trouble if you have better stuff to eat.

I love the flowers of woody nightshade. The berries can be used to make an analgesic salve, but, again, it's a lot of bother to make something that isn't as good as the readily-available alternatives.
